Precautions; Warnings - Remington iLIGHT Pro Use And Care Manual

Precautions

The Remington iLIGHT Hair Removal
System is a powerful device. As such
it should be used with special attention
to safety. Please read all warnings and
safety precautions before use and follow
them strictly when using the device.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device if you have TANNED SKIN in
the intended treatment area, as your
skin may be too dark and treatment
in tanned areas could temporarily
cause skin swelling, blisters, or could
change the color of your skin. Wait
until your tan has faded in the treat-
ment area before treating.
• DO NOT flash the Remington iLIGHT
device on the identical treatment spot
multiple times during the same ses-
sion, as this could temporarily cause
skin swelling, blisters, or could change
the color of your skin. See instructions
under "Using the Remington iLIGHT
Hair Removal System for treatment" in
the TOC for more information on how to
properly administer treatment.
• DO NOT treat any area more than once
every other week, as this will not speed
up results, but could increase likelihood
of skin swelling, blistering or changing
the color of your skin.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device on damaged skin, including
open wounds, cold sores, sunburns, or
areas where you have had a skin peel
or other skin resurfacing procedure
within the last 6-8 weeks.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device on irritated skin, including
rashes or swollen skin. These
conditions can make the skin more
sensitive to the light treatment. Wait
for the affected area to heal before
using the device.

• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device if your skin is sensitive to light.
In order to determine if you can use the
device, perform a test on a small patch
of skin and wait 24 hours to determine
if there are any adverse reactions
before using the device more broadly.
See steps for testing on a patch of skin
in Table 2. Contact Customer Service
for more information or assistance. See
page 48.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device if you are or may be pregnant
or are breast-feeding. The Remington
iLIGHT device has not been tested on
pregnant women. Hormonal changes
are common during pregnancy or
breast-feeding and could increase skin
sensitivity and the risk of skin injury.
• DO NOT flash the Remington iLIGHT
device against any material other
than skin.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device for any purpose other than
hair removal.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device on any area where you may
someday want your hair to grow
back. The results may be permanent
and irreversible.
• DO NOT cover any part of the
Remington iLIGHT device ventila-
tion slots during use, as they help to
keep the device cool during operation.
Covering the ventilation slots could
result in the device overheating.
• DO NOT use the Remington iLIGHT
device if the box packaging or the
device appears damaged or if any part
of the device body is cracked or broken.
Doing so could increase the risk of
skin or eye injury from the flash lamp.
Contact Customer Service for assis-
tance. See page 48.
• DO NOT allow the Remington iLIGHT
device to become damp or wet.
